Unexpected Gift Ch.7 ❤️👶🏼

Month 8

Lauren groaned loudly as she walked into her family kitchen, alerting her entire family. "You alright, Mija?" Mike asked his daughter, standing to walk over to his daughter.

Lauren waved her father off and walked over to the fridge. "I'm fine. Just uncomfortable. I can't wait until this alien is out of me."

"I know, Hermosa." Clara's heart dropped at the thought of Lauren being in pain. "Did you sleep okay?"

"Sleep? I didn't get any sleep. He keeps moving and kicking, and I kept Dinah up all night, and she's exhausted. She's knocked out." Lauren gestured to her bedroom.

"I think staying up with you is the least she can do, Lauren. She is the reason you're in this pain." Mike said with a pinched look.

Lauren sent a hard glare to her father. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"What? She's the reason you got pregnant in the first place." Mike replied with innocence laced in his voice.

"No, we're both this reason for this 'pain' that also happens to be my son, Dad. So yes, she's exhausted and she's sleeping. And yes I feel bad that I kept her up, because no one should have to lose sleep like that, but not once did she complain." Lauren spat, the rage in her body spilling out. "Don't blame Dinah as if she's some kind of problem, because she's the best damn thing that ever happened to me."

There was an awkward silence in the air as Lauren turned back to the fridge to pull out the carton of eggs. She was oblivious to the tension as she waddled over to the counter to begin preparing her breakfast.

"Can we do anything for you?" Taylor questioned, breaking the silence. "We want to help."

"Yeah. We'll do anything you ask." Chris asked.

Lauren's eyes filled with tears at her siblings' concern. "I don't think so, but thank you much." She sniffled.

Mike sighed. He hated that he couldn't do anything to help his baby girl. "Clara, can I speak with you up in our room?" Clara nodded and made her way up to their bedroom followed by her husband.

"Yes, Michael?" Clara asked once their bedroom door was shut.

Mike took a deep breath. "I don't like this."

"Don't like what? That our daughter is sassy? She's always been that way." Clara pointed out.

"No, I don't like that she's in this much pain. It doesn't sit right with me knowing that I can't do anything to help her." Mike pouted.

Clara furrowed her eyebrows. "Honey, it's normal for her to feel uncomfortable. The baby is quite large, so of course she's going to feel this way. She's a big girl, Mike. She can handle it."

"I still don't like it, Clara."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Mike bit his lip and shook his head. "I told you that we should have talked to them about ge-"

"Don't you even say that shit again, Michael. It was crazy the first time you suggested it." Clara barked with a pointed finger.

"She wouldn't be in so much pain, Clara. She wouldn't have to grow up so fast. She wouldn't feel forced into a serious relationship at such a young age."

"She and Dinah were serious even before she got pregnant. You know that Lauren likes commitment. It's no secret that they were planning on being together for the long haul. What's so wrong with that? Dinah is a great person."

"I don't want my little girl thinking that she has no other choice!" Mike spat. "What happens when they end, huh? She's going to be devastated and alone with a child. How is that fair?"
